On the 5th broadcast of SBS's My Little Old Boy, Lyn appeared with K.Will, a friend of the same age, and spoke about her divorce while the two spent time together after her concert rehearsal. The episode showed them visiting a mugwort moxibustion room, where their conversation turned to K.Will's personal-channel content and why Lyn had not appeared when she was married.

K.Will said that when he planned the earlier format, his first choice to invite was producer Hye-yoon, the wife of Shin Dong-yup, and that when he planned the newer format, Lyn was the first person he had in mind. Lyn said Baek Z Young and Gummy had appeared and that she had felt hurt because she had not been asked while she was married. K.Will said he had considered inviting her, but the situation changed when Lyn first told him about her divorce.

Lyn asked K.Will whether he had thoughts about marriage. K.Will replied that he does want to marry, but said living as a family would bring situations he could not predict and that courage seemed necessary. He added that when people around him say they are getting married, he thinks they are 'admirable' and 'brave.'

Lyn said that although she chose divorce, she recommends marriage. She said, 'I had a truly happy marriage that left me with something beautiful at its core.' When she began speaking about how her former spouse had been a very close friend, she paused and said the loss felt not only like losing a husband but also like losing a close friend.

K.Will responded that it would be difficult when longtime friends became lovers and then separated. Lyn said the situation was awkward, not hostile, because they did not part badly, and added, 'I always support him.' K.Will then said that when Lyn was ready, she could talk little by little, before joking that marriage-related talk should be done on his channel.

The episode then moved to singing. K.Will referred to a previous broadcast in which Lyn sang and praised it, while Lyn asked whether she had not done poorly. K.Will rejected the self-deprecation and said, 'Among singers born in 1981, I think Lyn sings the best in Korea.' The broadcast listed other vocalists born in 1981, including Park Hyo Shin, Kim Tae-woo, Gummy, Big Mama's Lee Young Hyun, Hwanhee and Yoon Mi-rae, and the panel reacted to the number of 1981-born singers.

Lyn then called Kim Tae-woo and asked him the same question. Kim said, 'For women, it is Lyn,' and added that he considers vocal ability to be measured by the breadth of genres, saying Lyn can handle every genre. For men, he chose K.Will and joked that he had decided to learn singing from him. K.Will responded that he could not teach one of the world's top 5 vocalists, and Kim corrected him by joking that it was the top 3: Stevie Wonder, Brian McKnight and Kim Tae-woo. The broadcast also showed Lyn and K.Will going to karaoke and holding an impromptu concert.

It feels like I lost a close friend, so I feel regretful and sad.
